e e e Mr. Nolte stated that the Building Division collects fees for sign permits. The current fees were established in 1974 and no increases have been proposed since, although other building fees have been increased a number of times. The current fees for sign construction permits are $10 minimum or $.15 per square foot whichever is greater and signs projecting over public property are charged an annual fee of $10 minimum or $.10 per square foot, whichever is greater. The proposed fees for sign construction would be a minimum of $20 or $.20 per square foot, whichever is greater, and the proposed fee for signs projecting over the public right-of-way is a $20 minimum or $.20 a square foot, whichever is greater. Staff feels the proposed fees will cover costs for inspection, checking plans, and other items related to sign construction. He indicated that he could answer questions. Res.
